As colorful spring days are gradually overtaken by sunny summer days with the advent of May, snow-white pear, golden-yellow cole, gorgeous tulip, and more spring flowers start to wither.

If you feel sorry for this, maybe those colorful expanses of blooming Gesang flowers in Chongqing will get you out of the melancholy mood.

Mudong Street · Riverside Flower Sea

At the mention of gesang flowers in Chongqing, Mudong Street will come to mind at once. As May is coming to an end, the riverbank along Mudong Street is carpeted with gesang flowers with a unique touch rooted in profound local history.

Waist-high and delicately slender, these naughty flowers often lean out of surrounding wood rail fence to hug and greet visitors. In good weather with the cozy breeze, pale clouds and blue skies, a walk across the flower sea feels as if you were on a trip in Yunnan.

Besides these adorable flowers, there is more to enjoy, like the central island. With placid water, lush greenery, and egret visitors, this lovely island is close to the flower sea with only a ten-minute boat ride away from Mudong dock nearby.

Home to this once most important dock linking Chongqing and the outside world, Mudong Old Town ever enjoyed its heyday. Although being rebuilt, this thousand-year-old town still retains a richness of history.

Tiangongdian Street · Flower-covered Hill

Stretching along with the Tangjiayuanzi light rail station, Tiangongdian Street, Liangjiang New Area, this expanse of gesang flowers is a riot of color and elegance. Against a green hill where light rail trains run now and then, this flower sea is no less than a romantic fairyland.

Before, this picturesque land was a deserted hill. As many residents of nearby communities liked planting vegetables here, it used to be peppered with small shacks and white trash. Later, the deserted hill was remodeled into today's colorful flower sea.

Huaxin Street · Gesang Flower Sea with a Magical Touch

Although a little bit less touristy, Huaxin Street boasts a Gesang flower sea as gorgeous as those popular Gesang flower attractions. When a breeze blows past, these ostensibly delicate flowers only shake slightly with grace. Many visitors praise the Gesang flower sea here is both breathtaking and photogenic no matter at a long or a close range.

Better yet, Chongqing's Internet-famous Liziba light rail train, which runs through a residential building, is also within sight. The gorgeous Gesang flower sea, the nearby magnificent Jialing River, and diverse terrain across the bank blend perfectly in a remarkably magical way.

Shimahe Subdistrict · A Private Gesang Flower Garden

Among today's list, this Gesang flower sea may do best in the privacy stakes. Few people would imagine a beautiful flower sea is tucked away behind such a plain residential community. In a sense, it is "off the beaten track," for only residents who live nearby will visit.

If you enjoy your fill of understated Gesang flowers, there is also a good view of gorgeous great bougainvillea in the distance. Sometimes a change of view can make happen a change of mood.

Jiulongpo · Happy Gesang Flower Sea

In Tibetan, the Gesang flower carries the meaning of happiness, a good wish shared by the park. A more natural environment here has attracted more bees and butterflies for the Gesang flower sea inside.

Now, the park is at its best with blooming Gesang flowers, corn poppies, and Zinnia flowers. Come here with your kids and get close to nature.
